Vmfs Recover Deleted Vmdk _top_ May 20261. Overview VMFS (Virtual Machine File System) is VMware's clustered file system used to store virtual machine disks (VMDK), configuration files (VMX), and other VM-related data. When a VMDK file is deleted from a VMFS datastore (e.g., via vSphere Client, CLI, or an accidental rm command), the file is not immediately zeroed out. However, recovery is complex due to VMFS's proprietary nature, sub-block allocation, and pointer management. # List all files including deleted (not truly hidden) ls -la /vmfs/volumes/DatastoreName/ vmkfstools -V Attempt to repair VMFS metadata (dangerous) esxcli storage vmfs snapshot resignature --volume-label=DatastoreName vmfs recover deleted vmdk |
